Can Raheem Sterling carry his club form to Russia 2018?

If you’ve watched Tunisia’s warm-up game against Spain you would know how compact they are at the back. They were able to keep the likes of David Silva and Andres Iniesta at bay for as long as 84 minutes and on Monday, they will be out there to frustrate England as well. But in Raheem Sterling, England have just the man who can break down their stubborn defence with his pace and trickery.

Sterling was a crucial figure for Manchester City in their title-winning run with 18 goals and 11 assists in 31 appearances this season and he would like to carry his club form to the tournament.

He has dominated the newspapers for reasons unrelated to football prior to the World Cup. Now is his time to shine with the ball at his feet.
